About (R)evolution Cuba
Rum. Jazz. Vintage Cars. Island paradise or island prison. Cuba. We read about the shortages, the lack of opportunities, the expected regime change and lucrative business deals. Lost is the remarkable debate taking place across the country, where revolutionary ideals of equality face off against the allures of the 21st century market. This is highly visible in the world of art, where money, the state, and free expression collide. In a country where “art for the people” is fundamental, (R)evolution Cuba brings you a Cuba you don’t know, with six short portraits of artists at the heart of an evolving nation.
About Wheel of Life/La Rueda de la Vida (15 min.) (2016)
Meet El Oso (the Bear), one of the founders of Casino— the dance that launched salsa. A simple man whose joie de vivre delights, Oso travels through Havana regaling us with tales of his youth, when Havana’s exclusive clubs were white only, forcing him to dance on the streets. After rock n’ roll and the revolution intervene, Oso and his circle of friends choreograph a new history felt today across the globe—in Mongolia, Macedonia, Melbourne, Malmo, Munich and Malaysia-—and that's only the M’s. One of the first U.S.-Cuba co-productions, The WHEEL OF LIFE spins international relations onto the dance floor.
